In July 2022, Murray signed a five-year contract extension worth $230.5 million.
Following the announcement, Murray took to Instagram, writing, “Excitin’ times. I can’t help but feel overwhelmed with gratefulness and humility.”
He went on to acknowledge his position as a “non traditional” player, being just 5-foot-10 and the first Black and Asian quarterback in the league, noting that he refuses “to internalize or acknowledge” the negativity that comes from that. Murray finished his message by giving thanks to his parents, family, “and the entire Cardinals organization and fans for believing in me since day 1, nowhere I’d rather be.”
Murray suffered an ACL tear later that season in a December 2022 match-up against the New England Patriots, effectively ending his season with 2,368 passing yards for 14 touchdowns in 11 games.
He returned to the field nearly a year later, in November 2023, playing in eight games and throwing for 1,799 yards and 10 touchdowns.
